<span>C. C4H8 Given that the number of moles of CO2 and H2O produced from the combustion are equal, that means for every carbon atom, there are 2 hydrogen atoms because CO2 has only 1 carbon atom and H2O has 2 hydrogen atoms. So let's look at the available choices and see which one is correct. A. C2H2 This is a 1 to 1 ratio of carbon to hydrogen. Wrong answer. B. C2H6 This is a 1 to 3 ratio of carbon to hydrogen. Wrong answer. C. C4H8 This is a 1 to 2 ratio of carbon to hydrogen. Correct answer. D. C6H6 This is a 1 to 1 ratio of carbon to hydrogen. Wrong answer.</span>

2. STEM The mass of an atom of helium is about 4.002 atomic units.
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The approximate mass of beryllium is 9.0045 u.

Explanation:

Given data:

mass of helium= 4.002 u

mass of beryllium which is 2.25 times of mass of helium= ?

Solution:

we will multiply the mass of helium with 2.25 times,

4.002 u × 2.25 = 9.0045 u

so the mass of beryllium atom would be 9.0045 u.

What is not represented by a balanced chemical equation?
astraxan [27]

Answer is: 4) The same subscripts are on each side of the equation.

For example, balanced chemical reaction:

2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO.

1) The same number of atoms is on each side of the equation: two magnesium atoms and two oxgen atoms.

2) The formulas for all substances are correct: in magnesium oxide (MgO), magnesium has oxidation number +2 and oxygen -2, so formula is good, because compound must be neutral.

3) The same mass is represented on each side of the equation: because there is same number of atoms, the mass is the same.

4) The same subscripts are on each side of the equation: oxygen does not have same subscripts.
